Clovis and small archaic arrowhead comparison
Compare these two projectile points. The larger is a Clovis point—probably manufactured during the Early Paleoindian Period (about 10,000 years ago). During this time, North Americans hunted large animals such as mammoths. The smaller point (about one inch in length) is a more recently-chipped projectile point. What type of animal do you think the smaller point was used to hunt?
